Oliveira1OSU Seafood Research & Education Center Experiment Station, Department of Food Science and Technology, Oregon State University, Astoria, OR 97103, USABluWrap, 766 Harrison Street #102, San Francisco, CA 94107, USAThis review aims at summarizing the findings of studies published over the past 15 years on the application of modified atmosphere (MA) systems for shelf life extension of fish and fishery products. This review highlights the importance of CO2 in the preservation of seafood products, and underscores the benefits of combining MA technology with product storage in the superchilled temperature range. It is generally accepted that MA technology cannot improve product quality and should not be utilized as a substitute for good sanitation and strict temperature control. Benefits derived from application of MA, however, can significantly impact preservation of product quality and it subsequent shelf-life. For this reason, this review is the first of its kind to propose detailed handling and quality guidelines for fresh fish to realize the maximum benefit of MA technology.http://www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/5/3/48modified atmosphere packagingcontrolled atmosphere systemsfish and fishery productsseafood shelf lifefishfishery productsseafood |
